Thanks for the sympathy, Marty. It was a case last night of three
people in the kitchen with 3 different ideas of what made a good
meal. I normally like salmon and do it voluntarily 3-4 times a
month. We serve it with the ginger butter I posted about and it's
darn good, "company" food. Last night, it was colder than Billy
H*ll here in Las Vegas with winds somewhere in the 40mph range.
That means my grill doesn't get really hot for searing and that
kind of wind blows the IR emitters out on my other grill. Cooking
the salmon last night was arduous, to say the least, and certainly
not what I'd hoped for that evening. Oh well, you lose some and
you win some. It'd be boring if we only told tales of the good
meals, wouldn't it?
